Members gambit Posted November 4, 2007 Members Share Posted November 4, 2007 has anyone got any opinions on this pedal? the reviews seem good, and i'm mightily tempted. especially since the red repeat from the same series is a great sounding delay (i'm pretty sure i'll be getting that one soon) i guess i'm looking for that old fender amp trem, even though i've never heard it in the flesh, thats what people compare it to. is it a fair comparison? i'm selling my dunlop TS-1 since it seems to excell at hard choppy stuff more than vintage wobble.. do you think that's wise? can anyone give a clear example of fender trem and vox trem? what songs have which? or does anyone have clips?

Members only_shallow Posted November 4, 2007 Members Share Posted November 4, 2007 Well yeah, I dont know if it coult go really choppy but i dont think so, its only sine wave methinks. anyways it sounds great and really fender-y. Ohh yeah, get the Red Repeat its {censored}ing cool Well, I found this soundclick page on the CM forum when i was gonna get my Red Repeat, there's various clips and theres some Surf Trem clips...http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=415328 just look for it in there. For that price, i'd go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Coolie No.1 Posted November 4, 2007 Members Share Posted November 4, 2007 Yes, I have used it it before and compared to the deluxe Reverb trem , its quite a bit better. Very beautiful, smooth sounding trem and all settings on the knobs work. Solid build and great bypass, I didnt feel any volume changes. Will get choppy upto a certain limit, but not square wave choppy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members only_shallow Posted November 4, 2007 Members Share Posted November 4, 2007 ^ I have no idea what the settings are, the guy doesn't describe them... Just ask for them on the CM forum maybe? I need to try one out, CM effects are really good and superb sounding for the price. I've been having some problems with my power plug on my red repeat. It just dies and can't take any addapter that I give it. Seems to have stopped now for a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members whurly Posted November 5, 2007 Members Share Posted November 5, 2007 You should be able to get a vintage trem out of the TS-1. It's in there, just keep trying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members damacy Posted November 5, 2007 Members Share Posted November 5, 2007 first of all, it's a heavenly sounding tremolo. if you are looking for a warm, amp-like tremolo, then i'm pretty sure you'd be happy with surf trem. i used to own one, and really liked it. i don't think it's true bypass, but it's very quiet whether it's engaged or bypassed. i guess the bypass switch is not the quietest in the world (it pops slightly louder than the other true bypass pedals i have used so far), but sound-wise it's a damn fine pedal in my opinion.
